The tour was a fantastic experience. The guides were very friendly and knowledgeable, and even went as far as to show us how to use the settings on our phone to capture the light to make the best pictures as possible. I would definitely recommend this experience. It was the highlight of our trip.

Our guide was phenomenal and her camera skills first rate. It was a very unrushed and informative experience, unlike the upper tour that was quite crowded. Secret canyon was absolutely amazing.

Sene was a great guide - she knew the area and was able to teach me many new things. She took us to the best spots to see how geology changes over time!

TK our guide was quite attentive all in our small group. She provided so much history and cultural for us while taking g the tour. Loved the slot canyon. It was beautiful and not crowded at all. TK showed us how to take extraordinary pictures and she took pictures for anyone who wanted some. We also went to the Navajo Reservation view point for Horseshoe Bend. Also amazing. We could spend so much time on this tour and we're not rushed. Loves the entire tour.

This was by far the best tour I did on my trip to the area. The guide Tyron (sp?) was very knowledgeable and took amazing pictures. He also helped coach us on how to change our phone settings to make our pictures perfect. This canyon was less crowded then the other tours which made it easier to explore. I'll recommend this company to anyone I know going to the area.

Explore the stunning Secret Antelope Canyon on a guided small-group tour and get private access to the Horseshoe Bend Overlook for a more intimate experience.

Enjoy a private viewpoint of Horseshoe Bend that overlooks the winding paths of the Colorado River, and avoid the crowds you would find at the public viewing area.

Travel off-road in a shaded 4x4 tour vehicle or an enclosed van, followed by a nature trail to the canyon entrance, adding adventure to your journey as you traverse the rugged landscape.
